Abstract

This article describes the photoreactive UV-crosslinkable solvent-borne acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) containing unsaturated copolymerizable photoinitiators and their synthesis. The solvent-borne acrylic PSA were synthesized in ethyl acetate as a solvent, and the copolymerizable photoinitiators type II, known as hydrogen abstractors, were incorporated into acrylic polymer chain during conducted radical polymerization process. The synthesized solvent-borne acrylic PSA containing different unsaturated photoinitiators were investigated to evaluate their relevant and significant properties such as tack, peel adhesion, and shear strength after UV exposure.
